How To Copy Data From One Column To Other Using Query
May 10, 2014
I am having excel file where it contains multiple sheets (Sheet 1 , Sheet 2, Sheet 3 etc).
When i import the excel to Access, File contains one Value in Cell A1 in Sheet 1 and i need to copy the same date to all the Values under Column A and need to copy the same data to all other sheets for Column A.
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
I have two tables pertaining to the same database.
Table [Purchase_Order_Details] amongst many fields have Columns - (Purchase Order #) which is the Primary Key and (Work Order #)
My second table [Order Details] also has a column (Work Order #) . Now I have added another column to this table i.e. (PurchaseOrderNo) - this column is blank as of now.
However I would like to run a query to fill the (PurchaseOrderNo) column depending upon the (Work Order #) which is present both the tables.
hello, I wanted to know how to copy a column and it's properties by programming (VBA-SQL). I have a column that has a list of values, and want to duplicate it (with another name).The new column should have the same list of values.

I want to create a copy of a table which I do using the code below.
SELECT * INTO My_Temp_Table FROM My_Table WHERE ColumnA = 100
Great, all works well.... but I want to exclude a column when the temp table is being built. I know I could specify all the columns I want leaving out the undesired column (rather than using SELECT *) but there are lots of them and, whilst in development, the table columns are liable to change. So I'd like to copy all coumns that are in force at any given time except one in particular?
I thought it would be something like :-
SELECT * INTO My_Temp_Table FROM My_Table WHERE ColumnA = '100' AND Columnname NOT LIKE 'ColumnB';
I am looking to create a button in access that will allow a field to be copied the the clipboard based on information in a query and then separated by a ";" and then can be pasted in another program.
I have created a database to keep track of membership. In the Member Personal Info Table I have collected their email address's and then created a query "Active Member Personal Info" for Active Members to have their name and Email displayed in the query. Now I am trying to take the 140 members email address and paste it in a gmail BCC line by clicking paste rather than doing each individual record and then copying and pasting.
I have a column in a table which I need to display in another table I can just copy and paste it but I need to it to update with the original. I don’t want to have to use a list or combo box as the data has to be selected from them and isn’t just displayed like the original column.
I need to combine data from a Yes/No field such that for any instance of a Yes/True the query will show Yes (checked). Only if there are no instances of Yes should the query return No (unchecked) for the field. In addition, this rule must apply for each individual account number in a [separate] table of accounts.
The following query works fine except that it returns two entries for John Doe if his account has entries for both FlagSpecialOrder=True and FlagSpecialOrder=False. You can see in the attached image that accounts 8 and 9 both have two entries each. Because these customers have a special order I want just one one row for each showing Yes (checked).
I want the query to return a single row for each unredeemed account. If there are no special orders then that field will be No (unchecked), but if there is at least one instance of a special order the field show be Yes (checked).
(To put this into some kind of context, customers can place orders which may be stock items or special orders, in which case I need to record the supplier, quotes, delivery dates, etc. In some cases they save for an item and there may or may not be a special order involved. Once the order is fulfilled it is redeemed.)
SELECT DISTINCT Customers.Name, SavingsClub.AccountNumber, SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder, Suppliers.ShortName, SavingsClub.FlagAccountClosed, SavingsClub.FlagDelete FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN (OrderDetails INNER JOIN (((Customers INNER JOIN SavingsClub ON Customers.Index = SavingsClub.CustomerID) INNER JOIN SavingsClubAccounts ON SavingsClub.AccountNumber = SavingsClubAccounts.Account) INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation) ON OrderDetails.Index = SavingsClubReservations.OrderID) ON Suppliers.Index = OrderDetails.Supplier WHERE (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False) ORDER BY Customers.Name
I've spent a week trying to solve this and thought I was on the right tack with the following query, which does return a single instance of each relevant account, but I can't manage to combine it into the query above to obtain the complete query.
SELECT DISTINCT SavingsClubAccounts.Account FROM SavingsClubAccounts INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation WHERE (SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder=False) And (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False) And SavingsClubAccounts.Account Not IN (SELECT SavingsClubAccounts.Account FROM SavingsClubAccounts INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation WHERE (SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder=True) And (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False)) UNION (SELECT SavingsClubAccounts.Account FROM SavingsClubAccounts INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation WHERE (SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder=True) And (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False));
Appreciative of any help, otherwise I think I'll end up manipilating the data in code and use a temp table, etc...
I am trying to write a query that can combine multiple rows of data into a single column. What I want is a result set which has JobRef as coulmn 1 and column 2 will be all users assigned to the job e.g. "User 1, User2, User 3" (from User.UserName)
The structure of the database is below, can anyone think of an easy to to resolve this.
I'm retrieving all **Basecode** column data starts with only letters other than 'W', 'N' by this query
Code: SELECT tbl1.EID,tbl1.Description,tabl1.Basecode FROM tbl1 WHERE Not IsNumeric(Left(Basecode,1)) AND Left(Basecode,1) Not In ("W","N");
And retrieving all **Basecode** if column data length >6 and with numbers '96', '78','54','15' by this query
Code: SELECT tbl1.EID,tbl1.Description,tabl1.Basecode FROM tbl1 WHERE (((Len([Basecode]))>6)AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='15')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='54')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='78')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='96'));
How do i get other data which won't retrieve based on above queries, other than data mentioned on these queries like this
Code: SELECT tbl1.EID,tbl1.Description,tabl1.Basecode FROM tbl1 WHERE (IsNumeric(Left(Basecode,1)) AND Left(Basecode,1) Not In ("W","N")) AND NOT (((Len([Basecode]))>6)AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='15')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='54')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='78')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='96'));
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code: Private Sub Command11_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
I use a Make-Table Action query to import data from a linked table into my database. The linked table is on a network server that is automatically updated.
One column of the linked table is named "QTY/PARTIAL" and approximately 10% of the 500 records have a "P" after a number i.e. 1000 P. I would like to separate the number and the P into separate columns in the new table to faciliate being able to compute the total number "QTY".
I will need to create a new column in a query with data based off of two columns currently in my DB.
Current fields are: [TestType] & [TestReason]. New TEMP field will be [TestCombo]
TestType has 4 possible option via drop down. TestReason has 21 possible options via drop down. TestCombo will be one of 10 options depending on the data in TestType & TestReason.
examples: (here is an example of how the combo field will be populated. There will be ten total rules like this. one for each possible text option in the combo box.) If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTDT".
If [TestType] is "ALCOHOL" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTAT".
If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "N-PRE" or "N-OTHER" or "N-FUP" then [TestCombo] would be "NDDT".
The data does not need to be saved anywhere at all in the database, just generated when pulling this query. It will then be exported and dumped into another system.
Thanks. Here is a temp copy of the database with some junk data to maybe make it a little more clear.
Hi. I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I would like to take data from multiple columns and put the data into one column. Additionally, I do not want to exclude any data (union all) and I would like to group the resulting union by another field. For example:
So far I'm using the following SQL. What do I need to add or change to get my desired result of grouping the unioned depths by the 'sample event' field?
I appreciate any help anyone may have to offer. Thank you.
SELECT Depth1 AS Depths FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth2 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth3 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth4 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth5 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
I have a Access 2003 file and I want to filter anywhere where there last name is "expired" and change the column first name to say "no". How do I do that?
I have a database with all the hours employees have logged stored in the database. Our payroll company wants an excel spreadsheet that has very specific info in particular columns and fields on the excel spreadsheet, so I'm trying to design a query which will put the correct info in the correct fields per their system.
The challenge is, I have currently a query with Employee ID, Overtime Hours, and Regular Hours as separate columns.
I need to translate this to a query with a single column for hours and a separate column that designates those hours as OT or Reg, with two rows for those employees who have both types.
I don't know how to create a query or a formula in a query to break out each employee row into multiple rows with different data in the hours column. It seems like there's something pretty straightforward that I've done in a similar vein but it doesn't seem to work - I can do the opposite and combine those hours by using the SUM function in a query, but I can't seem to break it out this way.
I need a query that could split data into 2 different field. The table pic is attached for your ready reference. I tird with Left & Right funtions with no results.
Any one can help me please.
Table name is Agcad and field on which I need to split is Board_Size. The problem is Board_Size data is sometime in 3 digit (first half part) and sometime second half part is in 4 digit. It is a text data type field.
I am using Excel/VBA as a frontend and Access backend. The sheet2 stores the queue name and Queue number. We have to update the sheet1 from column L to column O by looking for the values from the Access table for the date selected from the comboboxes. Now In sheet 2 , it says Queue number and in actual in access table it is the combination of Type & Type1 & Type2. So we have to look for Type & Type1 & Type2 in the table and find out total Batches ,Total Envelopes,Total documents and total pages and then store the values in the ExcelSheet1 from column L to column O.
The following formulas will be used in the select statment:
Total Batches = count(BatchNo) for date selected Total Envelopes=sum(Envelopes) for date selected Total Documents=sum(Cases) for date selected Total Pages=sum(Pages) for date selected
I have two separate columns in my query but they contain the same kind of data. These two columns data should match but some of the data doesn't. Can I write a criteria that will show me only the rows that do not match.
DUTYPOSC 11B111B1 11B111B1 11C111B1 11B111B1 92Y111B1 11B111B1 13F121B1 For example, I want the query to show me only the rows in which the data in the Duty column doesn't match the POSC column.
I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
I am looking to add a column in a query that will give a Y or No to previous column data if it contains TEXT or NUMBER (It could read "TEXT" or "NUMBER" or even Y for text or N for number).
How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database
Hi, All,
I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.
To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.
Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.
I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.
